What are some of the best and worst web sites that focus on archaeology? Which web sites facilitate learning, research and provide an accurate portrayal of the goals and activities of archaeologists? Which web sites provide an inaccurate and misleading perspective on some aspect of archeology or archaeologists? For this project students will provide a critical review of what they see as the best and worst web sites available. Each student group is in charge of writing a one page, single-spaced, review of their selection of the best and worst web sites available. Each review must include the correct web address as the Myths and Facts web page will link to these pages. Students must identify their pages in advance to make sure that students do not select and review the same websites.

Students must address the following:
What is the purpose of the site? Who made the site and do she/he/they have a specific agenda in creating the site? What are the professional or academic credentials of the authors? How is the site presented? How is the web site organized? Does the site appropriately or inappropriately employ archaeological data? Why do you consider this among the best or worst archaeological web sites?

For full credit, each group will have to present their selection for best and worst websites ro the class and post these on the web. The presentation will be done in the computer cluster with students introducing these to the class. The final written review will be psted on the Myths and Facts web site with the students responsible for developing and testing their web pages.
